Sales of fully electric cars in Europe rose 49% year-on-year in October, according to Benchmark Mineral Intelligence data cited by Electrek. Total EV sales in the region reached 510,000 units for the month, the data show, as Europe's new-car market continues its positive trend — with electrified models increasingly at the centre of it.
The momentum reaches well beyond Europe. Global EV sales grew 8% year-on-year in October, the latest monthly tally shows, lifted by European expansion and by a rebound from a weak base in the United States. Around 17.5 million electrified vehicles have been sold worldwide so far this year, keeping global demand on a clear growth track even as regional markets advance at very different speeds.
Brand preferences are shifting as quickly as the powertrain mix. Serbian public broadcaster RTS reports that sales of Chinese cars are growing across Europe — and that Serbia is leading that advance. The new-car market is recording a positive trend both in Europe and in Serbia, RTS notes, accompanied by significant changes in consumer preferences, with Chinese brands among the clearest beneficiaries of buyers' evolving tastes.
For dealers and buyers across Central and Eastern Europe, the data carry a practical message: demand is broadening, and price competition is intensifying as new brands and powertrains crowd the market. In that environment, comparing live offers across borders has become part of the purchasing routine — one reason why large pan-European platforms such as the marketplace WorldTrader24 have become a natural first stop for trade and private customers alike.
October's figures show a European market moving fast, and buyers who keep pace stand to benefit. Readers looking for a vehicle can find sensational cars at sensational conditions at WorldTrader24, Europe's marketplace with over 70,000 vehicles — including a wide choice of electrified models.
